Available in drops, syrups, and powders, these versatile flavour solutions fit seamlessly into any lifestyle. Add a few drops to your morning coffee, drizzle syrup over pancakes, or mix powder into baking recipes. The choice is yours, and the flavour possibilities are endless.
Who Should Try These
Anyone looking to make their nutrition plan more enjoyable will find value here. Athletes tracking macros closely, people managing their calorie intake, or those simply bored with plain shakes and snacks can all benefit from adding flavour without adding unwanted ingredients. These products work particularly well for anyone who finds themselves struggling to stick to their routine because everything tastes the same.
Home bakers looking to create healthier versions of their favourite recipes will also find these products invaluable.

When to Use Flavouring Sweeteners
The beauty of these products lies in their flexibility. Use them whenever you're preparing food or drinks that need a flavour boost. Morning coffee, pre-workout shakes, post-workout smoothies, afternoon snacks, or evening desserts all become more enjoyable with a few drops or a drizzle. Many people keep drops in their gym bag for on-the-go flavouring, while syrups work brilliantly as part of meal prep.
Timing really depends on your routine and preferences. Some people flavour their porridge every morning, others save these products for treats and desserts. There's no right or wrong approach. The key is having them available when you need to make something taste better without derailing your nutritional plan.
Flavouring Sweeteners Benefits
Zero or Low Calorie Options
Most flavouring sweeteners contain minimal to zero calories, making them ideal for anyone tracking their intake closely. You get the sweetness and flavour you're craving without the caloric cost of sugar or traditional sweeteners. This makes it easier to stay within your targets whilst still enjoying what you eat and drink.
Endless Flavour Variety
From classic vanilla and chocolate to more adventurous options like salted caramel, toffee, or fruity flavours, the range available means you'll never get bored. Rotate flavours throughout the week to keep your nutrition plan interesting and sustainable long-term. The variety helps you stick to your routine when monotony might otherwise derail your progress.
Versatile Usage Across Foods and Drinks
These products aren't limited to shakes. Add them to coffee, tea, porridge, yoghurt, baking recipes, smoothie bowls, and even savoury dishes where a touch of sweetness balances the flavours. The concentrated format means a little goes a long way, making each bottle last through dozens of servings.
Better Dental Health Compared to Sugar
Using sugar-free sweeteners instead of sugar helps with tooth care. Consumption of foods and drinks containing sweeteners instead of sugar induces a lower blood glucose rise after their consumption compared to sugar-containing foods and drinks1, and contributes to the maintenance of tooth mineralisation2.

FAQs
What are flavouring sweeteners?
Flavouring sweeteners are concentrated flavour products designed to add taste and sweetness to food and drinks without the calories and sugar of traditional sweeteners. They come in various formats including liquid drops, syrups, and powders, each offering different advantages depending on how you plan to use them.
These products typically use sweeteners that don't raise blood glucose levels the same way sugar does, making them popular among people tracking their nutrition closely. The concentrated nature means you only need small amounts to achieve the desired flavour intensity.
How do flavouring sweeteners differ from regular sugar or honey?
The main difference lies in caloric content and blood glucose response. Regular sugar and honey contain significant calories and cause blood glucose rises, whilst most flavouring sweeteners contain minimal to zero calories. Consumption of foods and drinks containing sweeteners instead of sugar induces a lower blood glucose rise after consumption compared to sugar-containing alternatives1.
Flavouring sweeteners also offer much greater convenience and variety. Rather than buying multiple jars of different ingredients, you can have a collection of diverse flavours in compact bottles that last for months.
Which format should I choose - drops, syrup, or powder?
Drops work best for beverages and anything where you need portable, precise dosing. They're ideal for coffee, tea, shakes, and smoothies. Carry them anywhere and add flavour on the go.
Syrups suit anyone who wants a pourable consistency for drizzling over foods like pancakes, porridge, or yoghurt. The texture adds to the eating experience in ways that drops cannot replicate.
Powders integrate best into baking recipes, protein balls, and thick mixtures where liquid would alter the consistency. If you're making homemade protein bars or energy bites, powder gives you flavour without changing the texture.
How much should I use per serving?
Start with less than you think you need. These products are highly concentrated, so a few drops or a small drizzle often suffices. You can always add more, but you cannot remove excess if you've over-flavoured something.
Most people find that 3-5 drops or about a teaspoon of syrup works well for a standard shake or coffee. For baking, follow any recipe guidelines or start with half a teaspoon of powder per serving and adjust to taste in future batches.
Can I use flavouring sweeteners in hot beverages and baking?
Yes, these products remain stable in both hot and cold applications. Add drops to your morning coffee or tea without concern. When baking, the sweeteners maintain their flavour profile through standard cooking temperatures, making them suitable for muffins, protein cookies, and similar recipes.
The powder format works particularly well in baking as it distributes evenly throughout the mixture. Liquid drops and syrups work better when added to batters rather than frostings, where their liquid content might affect consistency.
Do these products have any impact on dental health?
Using sweeteners instead of sugar offers advantages for tooth care. Consumption of foods and drinks containing sweeteners instead of sugar contributes to the maintenance of tooth mineralisation2, unlike sugar which can compromise dental health when consumed regularly.
Who developed these flavouring sweetener products?
Myprotein's expert nutritionists developed these products with both taste and practicality in mind. They understood that adherence to nutrition plans often fails due to flavour fatigue, so they created versatile solutions that address this common challenge without compromising nutritional goals.
Can I mix different flavours together?
Absolutely. Experimenting with flavour combinations often produces interesting results. Try mixing vanilla with chocolate for a classic combo, or blend fruity flavours for a tropical twist. The concentrated format makes it easy to adjust ratios until you find combinations you love.
Start with small amounts when experimenting. Add one flavour first, taste, then gradually introduce the second flavour until you achieve the balance you're after. Keep notes on successful combinations so you can recreate them consistently.
How long do flavouring sweeteners last once opened?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, these products typically last several months after opening. The concentrated nature and lack of perishable ingredients mean they remain stable for extended periods. Always check the packaging for specific storage instructions and best-before dates.
Are these products suitable for various dietary approaches?
Most flavouring sweeteners work well with different dietary patterns including low-carb, calorie-controlled, and flexible dieting approaches. The minimal calorie content and absence of sugar make them compatible with most nutrition strategies. Always check individual product labels for specific ingredient information to ensure they align with your particular requirements.
